Student Administrative Services Director Dr. Emil Hanson presented the proposed change during Monday's senate meeting in hopes of gaining student support before the proposal is submitted to administration officials. "If it has student support," said Hanson, "it's more likely to get through the administration." According to the proposal, students would have until the last day of the week before school starts to pay their tuition without incurring late fees. If payment has not been made by that day, and the student has not dropped the class, a late fee of an undetermined amount would be added. Additionally, if action has not been taken to pay or drop classes by the end of the first week of the quarter, another late fee would be assessed. The proposed system differs from current policy in that classes would not be dropped automatically by the school computers because of non-payment Hanson said, students names would appear on the roll even if no payment has been made. "Instead of wiping people off the computers," Hanson said, "we would assume that students are responsible enough to pay for what they sign up for. We've been treating students like children." The proposal could allow students to take advantage of the system, but safeguards would prevent the abuse from happening more than once. For example, if a student signs up for a class and doesn't pay by the end of the third week of school, a failing grade for the class would go on the students records. Also, the student's registration would be held, which would prevent registration until payment is made. Likewise, their transcripts and graduation would be held, which would not only affect their status at WSC, but would keep records from being forwarded to other schools until payment is received. "A student could take us to the cleaners once," said Hanson. "But never again." Hanson said the proposal would place the responsibility on the shoulder of students, where it should be.
